STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Two people were injured when a train derailed at the Staten Island Railway's Tottenville station early Thursday morning, a Fire Department spokesman said.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority told the Associated Press that a car went off the tracks at 6:36 a.m. after hitting a "bumping block" at the station. The block prevents the train from going further out of the station.

The train engineer and conductor suffered minor injuries, according to the Associated Press. The workers were transported to Staten Island University Hospital, the FDNY spokesman said.

The train was headed in toward Tottenville to begin its morning run when the incident occurred. No passengers were on board.

There currently is no service between Tottenville and Pleasant Plains.

As of 9 a.m., the station was closed and its entrances and exits were blocked with yellow caution tape.

A train could be seen stopped at the very end of the platform on the Tottenville-bound side of the station and a few MTA workers were on the tracks.

An MTA official was at the entrance of the station telling customers they had to take the bus.
